Specification

The RENCOL® Tolerance Ring HVL style may be  described as a very light duty HV style ring.  It is often characteristic of this ring to not have a circular shape in free state.  This ring is generally used as a bearing mount where bearings are required to 'float' axially.

Engineered Fastening

The RENCOL® Tolerance Ring allows a simple consistent joint of cylindrical parts using dissimilar materials without the complications and cost of adhesive, secondary machining operations or machined details, such as splines or threads.  The Tolerance Ring sits between the two components resulting in an engineered fastening.

Bearing Mount

When mounting a bearing, the RENCOL® Tolerance Ring sits between the application housing and the outer face of the bearing.  The wave forms of the RENCOL® Tolerance Ring act as springs generating a controlled retention force between the outer face of the bearing and application housing.
